timeline layer ruler wrong increments
Hi: I’m working in AE7. Half the time I think I’m clueless. The other half I’m sure.
For some reason my timeline pannel switched from displaying seconds to frames per second. I can’t switch it back.
I’m talking about the little time ruler that extends across the top of the timeline pannel. No matter what I do, I can’t get it to show seconds.
My comp is a NTSC DV 720×480, but that doesn;t seem to affect anything. I have tried the help center and searching for posts, but no luck.
Can someone tell me how to change it back to reading seconds in the timeline?
thanks J

Look in File>Project Settings. Change it to what you need.
Please note that if within the same project you work with PAL footage in PAL comps at 25fps, and also NTSC footage in NTSC comps at 29.97 fps, you’ll be changing this seeting a lot.

When you’re zoomed in too close for seconds to matter, then it shows frames. When you zoom back out you will see seconds displayed again.

Hello,
I am having the same problem with the time ruler which appears in frames.
I went into Project/settings/and chose 30 frames per second as the composition frame rate is 29.97
I understand that normally,I should get seconds when I zoom out and frames when I zoom in, somehow it just does not work.
thank you for your help

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I tried the second solution that you suggested, then I decided to put 25fps as timecode base and it worked!
